I used to do private home health care years back and my last patient was finally diagnosed with it. She also had advanced dementia that had been previously diagnosed. That was in February and we lost her in August. Needless to say, I dont do that kind of work anymore.

@hunkalove you seem so young to be having that. I am very sorry you're dealing with this.

Yes. My father-in-law is grappling with it and has been for a few years. It’s been heart wrenching to see him slowly disappear.
@MrRoboto my mom has had it for 3 yrs now

@TexasOutlawTrey He was diagnosed about 4 years ago, but looking back, we realize he probably had it for some time before his diagnosis.

What kind.
My mother suffers from dementia and memory loss. It hasn’t been classified as Alzheimer’s at this point, and she still has good days, but it’s difficult to see the changes.
